Table 4 Team 6 discussion analysis using CHAT

Between subject and tool

G6-5 is the primary handler of the tool. She inspects it and holds on to it.

The other groupmates also look and point to the model initially.

As the discussion progresses, more groupmates get their chance to hold onto and manipulate the model.

Each student launched the DR on their personal devices.

There did not appear to be much collaboration at the start

Between subject, tool and community

The students shared the model, passing the model around and exploring the parts together.

G6-5 offered the team alternative hypothetical clinical scenarios while referencing the model, extending its use past the clinical scenario and bringing in own clinical knowledge.

G6-5 runs into issues with the DR and G6-2 assisted.

Between subject, community, tool, division of labour, object and rules

Some students (subject) read the prompt out loud (rules) to their teammates (community) while other students manipulate the tool with reference to the prompt (object).

The different roles undertaken by the various subjects demonstrates division of labour.

Groupmates who had trouble configuring the tool consulted other groupmates (division of labour).

We did not observe evidence that the team (community) engaged in explicit discussion of the task prompt (object and rules).
